...the forecast today now says friday high 42 low 27, saturday high 37 low 22, sunday high 30 low 28, monday high 37. In all cases, low temps are a bit higher, and daytime temps are a bit above freezing. No percipitation forecasted except for a little rain on saturday, and no likelihood of much snow between now and then. into every life a little rain must fall... still pretty far away for the forecast, so stay tuned!

Just confirming that I am still intending the night of the 18th (your day) somewhere on the Bibbulmun Track as a "with you in spirit" thing.
My greatest concern is bushfire (aka wildfire in your neck of the woods).
I will be carrying a lot of water but bag, clothes etc should be very minimal.

In the old cafe for a long time there was discussion on a calendar. I know I submitted a photo. gif.002

I propose we really do one this time.

I am prepared to submit a new photo so that it can't be said I am just trying to get even.
